There is a lot in your feedback that reflects what many people value day to day, especially flexible working, supportive teams and the chance to work across different projects. It is equally helpful to hear where things are not landing as well. Your comments around salary, progression and recognition for support roles highlight areas that can have a real impact on motivation and long term growth. These are conversations we continue to have across the business, particularly around making career paths more visible and development more accessible. Your suggestions around training and recognition are appreciated and help shape where we focus next.

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
